There are probably no specific Armenian restaurants, or Albanian restaurants, but you can get most styles of food over here, even if not down to the exact district in a certain country.

I often used to use it myself. The UK has a similar system. Ours looked like this and could even be swapped for the UK ones. Nobody uses it much nay longer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Just now, TheTeapot said: You hate cash!!! Not just cash. All voucher systems are silly. Also - vouchers and time limited vouchers especially are a bit of a consumer swiz. Many never get redeemed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) I wonder whether there will be a limit on how much in gift cards can be carried over a border. Perhaps the betting industry could be persuaded to accept them Edited August 16, 2021 by pongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 You can pay with your card, watch, phone or Bill Gates microchips in the vaccine! We need another means? If this is some sort of discount scheme then I don't think the the Islands economy needs to offer a discount! If people are on the Island where are they going to spend their money other than here!!!

cissolt Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Please tell be this isn't going to be linked to manncoin? There was a rumour they pivoted from being a mineable crypto currency to a business portal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredtosser Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The T's and C's make it look like a classic data mining exercise. click here Also worth looking at the "London Office" of the original promoter. A serviced office which the front man Kent has multiple companies registered too. (Although saying that, it seems to have recently changed from Impelity to KBH ltd since I last looked but both the same floor of the same building. ) All mixed up with "Gef", I just hope IOM PLC have done their DD.
